I have been trying to get my wireless working with Debian Linux for the past month now with no avail. I am using an Asus Rampage V Extreme with a wireless card: Broadcom Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03).
I have obtained multiple versions of the windows driver and tried to install them using Ndiswrapper, none of which have worked. I have followed all the online tutorials.
lspci gives me:
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
ndiswrapper -l gives me:
bcmwl64 : driver installed
device (14E4:43A0) present (alternate driver: bcma)
ip addr gives me:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

inet6 fe80::2561:950f:c23c:4fd7/64 scope link

I am about 3 months into learning Linux so I am not an expert but by no means am I a novice.
If you need more info, leave a comment and I will add it ASAP.
Any help appreciated!

ndiswrapper is a hack. If at all possible, don’t use it. There are native drivers available.
